Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: kernel security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0579-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0579.html
Issue date: 2006-07-13
Updated on: 2006-07-13
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2005-3055 CVE-2005-3273 CVE-2006-1056

- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated kernel packages that fix a number of security issues as well as
other bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (32 bit
architectures)
This security advisory has been rated as having important security impact
by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 -
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described
below:
* a flaw in the USB devio handling of device removal that allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2005-3055, moderate)
* a flaw in ROSE due to missing verification of the ndigis argument of new
routes (CVE-2005-3273, moderate)
* an info leak on AMD-based x86 systems that allowed a local user to
retrieve the floating point exception state of a process run by a different
user (CVE-2006-1056, important)
* a minor info leak in socket name handling in the network code
(CVE-2006-1342, low)
* a minor info leak in socket option handling in the network code
(CVE-2006-1343, low)
* a directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs that allowed a local user to
escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via "..\\"
sequences (CVE-2006-1864, moderate)
* a flaw in the mprotect system call that allowed to give write permission
to a readonly attachment of shared memory (CVE-2006-2071, moderate)
A performance bug in the NFS implementation that caused clients to
frequently pause when sending TCP segments during heavy write loads was
also addressed.
All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these
issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
155362 - CVE-2005-3273 ROSE ndigis verification
169262 - CVE-2005-3055 async usb devio oops
186245 - CVE-2006-1342 Small information leak in SO_ORIGINAL_DST and getname() (CVE-2006-1343)
189344 - CVE-2006-1056 FPU Information leak on i386/x86-64 on AMD CPUs
189438 - CVE-2006-1864 smbfs chroot issue
